Halloween- Character costume ideas for glasses wearers that’ll make heads roll

Spooky Season is upon us, which means two things for me; binge-watching Hocus Pocus and Halloween!
But with Halloween comes the age old question, what am i going to wear!? It’s the one time out of the year where you can go all out, whether you’re serving looks or serving spooks, Halloween is Christmas for creatives! But as someone who wears glasses and doesn’t enjoy wearing contacts, It can be hard to find the right costume where my glasses actually makes sense with the character!

Finding the perfect costume is a real struggle – every year it’s the same dilemma and every year I hear the same rambling of ideas “I want to wear something sexy, but like also something scary that shows off my curves but also covers me up and just something that breathes but is also really heavy but it HAS to be creative but also really simple…” – Someone who ends up going as a sexy cat.

But Halloween shouldn’t be about looking sexy, I mean wow you’re going as a sexy nurse? No, a medical professional would know to put clothes on in this weather.

See? It’s just not realistic. But if spooky isn’t your thing, I’ve got you covered.

Instead the best looks (for me at least) are when you fully commit – commit to the look commit to the character, be the Meryl Streep of Halloween, as long as the final look is BEWITCHING!

So please enjoy this little list I’ve created for Halloween character costume ideas, perfect for fellow glasses wearers:

Hopefully you’ve found some costume inspiration here, they’re not spooky but they are guaranteed to turn a few heads. But hey, if you want to be scary I guess you can go as a visually impaired Zombie? Just don’t wear your concealer.

However, if you do decide to opt for your contacts this Halloween, then why not amp up your look with some coloured contacts to really make your look extra Halloween-y! Just check out our Air Optix Colors range.
